The Israeli army announced that it had destroyed the largest Hamas tunnel ever discovered in the Gaza Strip. Hamas, on the other hand, said that the exchange of Palestinian prisoners and Israeli hostages in Gaza can only be carried out after a ceasefire.
This was stated by a prominent Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, during the so far unsuccessful negotiations in Cairo between the militant group, Egypt and Qatar, reports HRT.
The UN agency for Palestine refugees has accused Israeli authorities of torturing some of the agency’s employees in the Gaza Strip during questioning about their involvement in the attack in early October.
Israel, on the other hand, accuses that agency of employing more than 450 operatives of Hamas and other armed groups and of having passed information about them to international partners, including the UN, as ordered by the top of the army.
